Effects of using the surgical mask and FFP2 during the 6-min walking test. A randomized controlled trial
(MDPI, 2021)
During the COVID-19 pandemic, the use of masks has been recommended as a containment measure. The mask is a hindrance to normal breathing that causes discomfort. This could put more work on the respiratory ...
In vitro upper cervical spine kinematics: rotation with combined movements and its variation after alar ligament transection
(Elsevier, 2022)
Previous studies indicate that maximum upper cervical axial rotation occurs only through a combination of transverse, frontal, and sagittal plane motions. This study explores the relationship between ...
Does the addition of manual therapy approach to a cervical exercise program improve clinical outcomes for patients with chronic neck pain in short -and mid-term? A randomized controlled trial
(MDPI, 2020)
Chronic neck pain is one of today’s most prevalent pathologies. The International Classification of Diseases categorizes four subgroups based on patients’ associated symptoms. However, this classification ...
Is dry needling of the supinator a safe procedure? A potential treatment for lateral epicondylalgia or radial tunnel syndrome. A cadaveric study
(MDPI, 2021)
The supinator muscle is involved in two pain conditions of the forearm and wrist: lateral epicondylalgia and radial tunnel syndrome. Its close anatomical relationship with the radial nerve at the arcade ...
Combination of two manipulative techniques for the treatment of cervicogenic dizziness: a randomized controlled trial
(MDPI, 2022)
Cervicogenic dizziness is clinically associated with upper cervical spine dysfunctions. It seems that manual therapy decreases the intensity of dizziness in these subjects, but what happens to pain ...
Effects of diacutaneous fibrolysis on passive neuromuscular response and mechanosensitivity in athletes with hamstring shortening: a randomized controlled trial
(MDPI, 2021)
Introduction. Diacutaneous Fibrolysis is defined as specific instrumental intervention to normalize function in the musculoskeletal system. It is considered a treatment method for the mechanical alterations ...
Correlation between power elbow flexion and physical performance test: a potential predictor for assessing physical performance in older adults
(MDPI, 2023)
Background: With the increasing number of older adults and their declining motor and cognitive function, it is crucial to find alternative methods for assessing physical functionality. The Short Physical ...
Quadriceps and gluteus medius activity during stable and unstable loading exercises in athletes. A cross-sectional study
(John Wiley & Sons, 2023)
The aim of this study was to evaluate the muscle activation of the vastus medialis, vastus lateralis, and gluteus medius during different strength and stability exercises with a water tank compared with ...
Correlation between physical performance and tensiomyographic and myotonometric parameters in older adults
(MDPI, 2023)
Background: To examine the correlation between physical performance and muscle strength and the variables obtained from tensiomyography and myotonometry. Methods: Fifty-two older adults able to complete ...
Precision and safety of ultrasound-guided versus palpation-guided needle placement on the patellar tendon: a cadaveric study
(MDPI, 2023)
For decades, needling interventions have been performed based on manual palpation and anatomic knowledge. The increasing use of real-time ultrasonography in clinical practice has improved the accuracy ...
